The sons of my deceased friend Dr. Roxburgh being anxious 

 that the Flora Indica, on which he bestowed so many years of 

 unremitting labour, should be presented without any farther delay 

 to the scientific world, requested me to superintend the progress of 

 these Volumes through the press, a request with which I cheer- 

 fully complied. The first Volume formerly published being out 

 of print, it became necessary to reprint it in order to complete the 

 undertaking ; that volume was enriched by the invaluable notes 

 and additions of Dr. Wallich ; but as Captains Roxburgh did not 

 consider themselves at liberty to make use of those additions with- 

 out the permission of that eminent Botanist, they have been omitted 

 in reprinting the Volume ; the present edition of the Flora, to be 

 completed in four Volumes, will therefore consist of the MSS. left 

 with me by the late Dr. Roxburgh, without any addition.
